Rising will return for twelve nights across two weekends from June 4-15. As a chill settles over the city each year, the festival returns with a nocturnal vengeance. The program for 2025 is yet to be announced, but it typically consists of free and ticketed options for performances and installations encompassing theatre, music, dance and art.
Wander through large-scale installations, micro-bars and everything in between as Melbourne's landmarks and labyrinthine laneways are drenched in a new light. Intrigued? Watch this space for more details as they appear. You can find out more about the festival on the website.
